one that is not subservient to capitalist market forces

There’s always a market with market forces.

If the legal market is completely state controlled, then the black market is still around. Corruption, bribes, and political connections then become the price to pay to even get a place to live at all.

I grew up in a socialist country with super low rent and the state owning everything. The rent was ridiculously cheap, but the housing quality was terrible. The state didn’t pay for upkeep and buildings just rotted. Sure there was also new construction of commie blocks. Good luck getting one of those apartments! Also you couldn’t even move to a different city without getting a state permit first. My parents had to bribe the state official with hard currency in addition to changing career, and using political favors to get an actual decent place.

scrub

Exactly. Of course I can make myself wet slather some soap on my body. That’s not washing, though. Washing means to scrub until squeaky clean. I have observed people go in the shower stinky and come out only slightly stinky. Why?

Then there’s things like remove hard skin from the feet, cut nails, shave.

Use a fascial scrub on the face.

After the shower applying facial cream and body lotion also takes a little time.

Finally: collect hair from drain, dry off water that sploshed around

Sadly, not available for any of my devices. A reason to get myself an Xbox, I guess.

Agreed. City run housing should run at a low profit, so more city owned housing can be built with it.

Vienna does something like it, and it works well.

This so much. Applies to all areas of life.

Big platforms have a lot of power. They need to control the content published for reasons ranging from following laws to pleasing advertisers. These decisions always have political implications.

More migration comes either way, if you control rents or not.

Well adjusted healthy people living a happy life don’t waste their time arguing in comment sections.

Rent freezes are ineffective over here in Europe as well. They don’t create more housing, sometimes the opposite. There are lots of unintended side effects like having to pay bribes to get a contract at all.

There are several meta studies and studies on this, you can look up.

Rent freezes are only good for those who already have an affordable housing. It doesn’t solve the systematic issue the slightest.

A theater is a social event and experience. Lots of video games are solo experiences. That’s a huge difference. Social events and activities need inclusion much more.

A dense philosophical book doesn’t need to include a „for dummies“ version. Tarot cards don’t need their meaning printed on them.

There were also printed game magazines with hints, walkthroughs and such.

It’s okay to look things up.

Thank you for this post. It opened my mind to giving a souls game a try.

A café is a public place that should accommodate a wide range of guests.

A work of art doesn’t need the same amount of accessibility. Restricted access might be part of the experience.

Access to food is more essential than access to niche art.

You can still make your own website and publish whatever you like (local laws may apply).

The uploader likely has a copy.

Autonomous vehicles are vulnerable to being stopped, boarded, sabotaged, and taken over unarmed opponents.

Can confirm. I lost my job and almost lost my home. Deadlines, serious consequences, didn’t make a difference.

Relying on external stressors, survival instinct, and panic is not sustainable.

The Nigerian prince is always friendly.

LFS is unlikely to run on such a machine. BSD or Xenix are appropriate operating systems.
